My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

4Chapter 17 Rules
A light rain suddenly fell in the capital of Jingzhou last night, and today the air was filled with a hint of sweetness.

Ning Qingxi stood under the pavilion in the courtyard, quietly in a daze, when he was interrupted by the servant's hurried footsteps.

Following the corridor to the front hall, I happened to see Wang Xiujuan reading a letter.

Ning Qingxi looked closely and found that it was an invitation letter.

She walked up and asked, "Mistress, what invitation is this? Who wants to invite us to some banquet?"

Since moving to the capital of Jingzhou, there have been many big and small banquets, and their family usually refuses those who can, unless it is an invitation from the palace.

After reading the invitation, Wang Xiujuan said to the waiting butler: "Look for an excuse to refuse for me."

The other party nodded, took the invitation, and respectfully left.

After everyone left, Wang Xiujuan said to the lazy Ning Qingxi sitting next to her, "It's a feast of fruits."

Ning Qingxi said curiously: "What Baiguoyuan means is that there are a lot of fruits at the banquet, and people are specially invited to eat the fruits?"

Wang Xiujuan nodded, that's pretty much what she meant.

Ning Qingxi said speechlessly: "Is there a banquet?" After thinking about it, I understood. In ancient times, resources were poor, and being able to gather so many fruits was also an ability.

Looking at whether her granddaughter was sitting or standing, she said, "You will be fourteen years old in a little while, so you will be fifteen years old."

Ning Qingxi took a bite of the pastry on the table and asked strangely: "What's wrong with the milk?" She talked about what she was doing at her age.

The age Wang Xiujuan mentioned was the original age of Ning Qingxi's body.

Since coming to ancient times, Ning Qingxi has never celebrated his birthday. He is mainly busy settling down and settling down, and has no time to think about that.

The same goes for Ning Changrong and Wang Xiujuan.

"The girls here are at the age of 15, when they are ready to get married." Wang Xiujuan said softly: "Although I won't start talking about your marriage so early, you still have to learn some rules that you should learn first."

After hearing this, Ning Qingxi felt like a bolt from the blue and couldn't even eat the cakes in his mouth.

She stumbled and pointed at herself at a loss and said, "Isn't it right? Nai, you, you mean to let me learn the etiquette of getting married?"

Wang Xiujuan patted her arm gently, "What are you thinking about? Of course it's not this."

Ning Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest gently, "It scared me to death."

Wang Xiujuan said: "But the way this fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old girl gets along with other girls in this place is different. We don't have to go back and forth, but we still have to learn the rules."

"Not knowing and not using are two different things. At least you have to be aware of it."

Seeing Ning Qingxi's sad face, Wang Xiujuan said again:

"We can all turn down a banquet like this, but can you turn down a banquet in the palace? Every time you go there, you worry about bumping into something. Once you learn etiquette, you won't have to worry about this."

"This is for your own good. People outside don't dare to say it in front of you. It doesn't mean they haven't discussed it behind your back. You have to learn what you should learn."

"In the past, because you were young, no one cared much about it. In the future, Da'an will become more and more stable, and you will gradually grow older, and more people will pick on you."

After all, Ning Qingxi was not really only 14 years old, but he understood Wang Xiujuan's painstaking efforts.

Unexpectedly, she was so happy that Fu Anshu wanted to learn the rules in the palace, and it wasn't long before it was her turn.

Ning Qingxi sighed and wailed: "Milk."

Wang Xiujuan is not willing to mess with her granddaughter, but they must abide by the rules of the place wherever they go. To put it bluntly, even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

Wang Xiujuan patted Ning Qingxi's head comfortingly, "Okay, we won't learn too much, just learn enough to be useful."

Ning Qingxi reluctantly compromised and said, "Okay." Otherwise, what else would happen?Wang Xiujuan was very active, mainly because she was afraid that Ning Qingxi would regret it, so she went to the palace to find Jun Fu Lin the next day and asked for a nun who could teach the rules in the palace.

Along with the nanny named Ruizhen, there was also Fu Anshu who came to laugh at Ning Qingxi.

Ning Qingxi was learning the rules and was in pain, while Fu Anshu was sitting next to him drinking tea and watching the show.

From time to time, he would also laugh at Ning Qingxi.

"Tsk, tsk, look, your head is moving. You can't move your head when walking."

"Hey, don't move your hands around."

"Your refreshments are arranged incorrectly."

Ning Qingxi took a deep breath and endured it again and again.

Ning Changrong caught up with his twice-monthly bathing time and happened to see an old woman Wang Xiujuan invited from the palace teaching his daughter the rules in the backyard.

There was also Fu Anshu, who was gloating and chirping next to him.

He came to the backyard, and three people happened to see him.

The old nanny who taught the rules quickly saluted Ning Changrong. Ning Qingxi and Fu Anshu also said hello to Ning Changrong.

"What are you doing?" Ning Changrong walked in and asked.

Ning Qingxi took the initiative to answer: "This is Nanny Lin. My grandma went to the palace to ask the Queen to invite her to teach me some rules."

Ning Changrong raised his eyebrows and sat next to him, signaling them to continue and not to worry about him.

Ning Changrong sat on a stool nearby and looked at him for a while before getting up.

After asking the servants, I found Wang Xiujuan.

Wang Xiujuan was still checking the accounts in the study. When she heard footsteps at the door, she said without raising her head: "Why are you free to hang out at home today?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she continued: "Remember, today seems to be your day to practice Mu."

Ning Changrong walked to sit opposite Wang Xiujuan, "Mom, haven't you finished checking the account book?"

Wang Xiujuan shook her head and said, "Hurry, we can finish it today."

Ning Changrong took the initiative to take the account book and said, "Let's do it this way. I'll help you together. It's faster for the two of us."

Wang Xiujuan did not refuse, and the mother and son were busy in the study for more than an hour, and finally sorted out the remaining ledgers.

"By the way, let me tell you, I went to the palace a few days ago and told the queen that from now on, we will be responsible for the expenses of our attached high school ourselves and will not trouble the palace."

Ning Changrong nodded and said, "Okay, you can make the decision in the backyard."

"But if something goes wrong with the servants sent by the palace in the backyard, you'd better tell the palace when you deal with it. After all, they were the ones who sent it."

"Of course I know this, your mother is not an old fool yet." Wang Xiujuan said while sorting out the account books.

"By the way, why did you come to see me? I just saw you coming in and you seemed to have something to say."

Ning Changrong hesitated for a while and said, "Why do you suddenly think of asking grandma to teach Xixi the rules?"

After Wang Xiujuan arranged all the ledgers clearly, she sat back on the stool and looked at Ning Changrong seriously and said, "Do you know how old Xixi is?"
